RIP Jeff Hanneman and Gar Samuelson. Slayer and Megadeth forever!

VHS tapes are the closest thing we have to a time machine. This was such a great time to be alive and headbanging!!

I'm 50 now, distinctly remember what I felt like when I heard Slayer and Metallica as a kid in the 80's. It completely launched me into a new trajectory. I loved Maiden and Priest and similar bands but Slayer was in a different class back then. The aggressive approach and album art just went alot further. Exciting time to be a kid discovering new music.

1986/1987 were historic days. Megadeth - Peace Sells, Metallica - Puppets, Anthrax - Among The Living, Slayer Reign In Blood, among a bunch of others.

headbangers ball, back when MTV actually played, you know, MUSIC

The original line-up of Megadeth with Poland and Samuelson, my jaw fell to the floor, this footage is priceless!

Little did we know those two bands with those two albums, would STILL be required listening all this time later. We knew it was better than anything else at the time but we didn’t know it was THAT much better

Great to see Jeff taking the lead in the interview. Is quitte exceptional. Great stuff.

"You have to have some problems to like Slayer," so that explains why I've been a Slayer fan since age 8

I love how they spelled it megadeath.

My god how much better music and MTV was.

"You got to have some problems". Maybe thats why i understood slayer back in the 80s

Classic, especially MTV misspelling Megadeth at the 0:29 mark! How young they all looked…

Love the classic MTV where they actually played music videos. Gotta keep delivering more of these!

I remember MTV using the bass guitar intro from "Peace Sells But Who's Buying", in there MTV News jingle, and they used that jingle for years.

I had never heard of Megadeth but Peace Sells was an option in the Columbia Record catalog (12 tapes for 1 penny deal). Ordered it and have been a fan ever since.

Wow! I was 14 years old, and completely infatuated with these bands! Love seeing this stuff! What a flashback!

You'll never confuse megadeth and slayer for being motley crue and poison😂

I saw Slayer for the first time in Zurich, Switzerland 1986 on the Reign In Blood tour. Most intense show of my life.

Megadeth is the band that changed me. It's like Thrash is my drug, and Dave is my dealer, at least until Risk came out.

When this aired, this was the exact moment I was introduced to metal. I was 7 at the time. Never forgot Kerry hitting that gong

Those were the days. Hated MTV. So I went to the underground and college radio. Saw Slayer on that tour. Fuckin' awesome!

0:59 Gar sitting there high as a kite

I love Slayer and Megadeth, and Metallica, and Madonna. Those were the good ole days!

Seeing Slayer for the first time and hearing Dave Lombardo play drums made a huuuggggeeee impact on me!

2 different great bands!!

MTV's "The Cutting Edge" had a long segment on Slayer, possibly around the same time, which is really the first time that I had ever heard of them. To this day, I still cannot find this clip on KZfaq.

i am 53 , follow slayer since 1986 , first concert in belgium 1987 , last concert whent to stuttgart 2019 , miss these guys , THRASH TILL DEATH , i own mey slayer manscave with a lot of slayer stuff , always to sit in my cave !!! SLAYER FOREVER !!

Thank you so much and God bless you a million times for posting this great and precious concert video.

I miss those days when no one got canceled

Things like this were real life changers...

3 weeks away from Reign in Blood.. Jeez, they had no idea what was coming haha

Came for Slayer, stayed for Megadeth... and Slayer

Awesome. I miss those days but I've seen Megadeth twice in the last year and some change and it was better than ever each time.

Love this stuff, back when all this was new and every new album was something to be anticipated. I remember listening to Slayer and other bands and thinking no one will probably know one will know who these guys are or car 30 years from then. And here we are, still thrashing out no matter how much our joints hurt.

Epic that you recorded this

Saw both Reign In Blood & Peace Sells tours. Man I feel old!

Thanx for that rare footage ! Cheers from France !

This was and is our life in the SF Bay Area still!

I remember this , such an awesome time 🤘🏻 MTV was actually good .

thanks for the trip back in time, man I miss them days, there was a raw tougher feel to metal back then. I like the new stuff as well but nothing was like metal in the 80's. It was just metal nothing more nothing less \;;;/

This brings back some memories for sure. One of my favorite videos is AinC live at the Moore.

I remember seeing these clips when they first aired back in '86. Man, what a time to be alive 🤟

Thank you for this!

I remember seeing this on MTV, awesome video dude

Thats the best VHS tape quality ive ever seen.

Wauuu amazing...thanks so much for sharing these priceless footage

Im in my late 40s and remember being given a thrash metal mix tape of these guys and others anthrax etc..i was totally blown away by the crunchy heavy guitar riffs and never looked back..this was after a year or so off listening to bands like maiden etc..reign in blood is still the most 30 mins off aggressive music ever written for me

Thanks for sharing, man!

Nice walk back in time👍

Bien que j'ai 42ans je suis un inconditionnel du Thrash 80's et de ses deux représentants fantastiques que sont Slayer et Megadeth. Cette période est fantastique et si prolifique en matière de sorties Metal, ce sont les meilleures années de cette musique, ce sont les années qui font que le Metal est immortel. Tant que nous écouterons ces groupes le Metal ne mourra jamais... RIP Jeff Hanneman, the master!

Thanks for this❤

I remember when MTV first came on TV. I was in college at the time

Thanks so much for sharing! Very nostalgic. 😎👍

Thanks again. This is really good stuff. Still love Slayer, Megadeth, Metallica, Helloween, Accept, Judas Priest and so on. Metal Rules!!!

Man i miss those days!! 🙁 METAL!! 🔥🔥👊💪💪🤘

Always stayed up for Headbangers Ball, as a kid. F’n awesome times!

Great year!!!!

This is awesome stuff Greg

Very cool. Keep them coming!

Me as a 14-year old: "I love Metallica, Anthrax / SoD, and Megadeth... but wow, these Slayer albums look really evil. I better not listen." Me as an older man: "I've been reading alternative media news articles for the past two hours, now I'm gonna throw on some Slayer to cheer up."

Wooh! Tyvm. Nostalgia de luxe.

Good times!Great music!!!

Wow I remember that 😂 thanks for sharing this awesome man🤟

The final 10 seconds of Madonna was kindly inserted for those viewers that don't have any problems and cannot think for themselves!

Thanks man that made my day Wow those days were Awesome 😎

Thanks for sharing

Oh yeah, classic underground metal bands playing some of those classic riffs! Classic Slayer, Megadeth, Metallica, Metal Church, and Lizzy Borden are still part of my playlists to this day.

Cool footage of their old rehearsal space. They must have relocated shortly after cuz I know they went to Parker St. in the city of Orange. I have a room here and was told theirs was in the corner. Leatherwolf took over after they left a few years later. I'm actually trying to form a classic era Slayer tribute. I have the same kit as Dave.

Thank you!

Still unbelieveble to hear, that good! 🪨🎯

In HS 1983-1986 I remeber listening to 'underground tapes' from the LA metal scene. It was these guys!

LOVE IT❤ MISS THIS TIME❤

Some cool old footage of Chris and Gar

1:40 my fave.. Rest in Peace Jeff & Rest in Peace Gar..

Don’t judge me by my picture lol. I saw Slayer in 87 opening for WASP. I’ll never forget it. They got really huge. And seeing them in an arena is great. But something about the early days in smaller venues. They seemed tighter. More aggressive. I wish I had all my vhs stuff where it could be watched. Thanks for posting 🎉

Chris Poland is still my favorite guitarist who played with Megadeth. That's cool he played bass with Circle Jerks for a year when Zander was off.

those were glorious times!

God I miss those days...

I was 9 in 86 but already had my KISS Destroyer denim jacket thanks to cousins, uncles and the older kids on my street that turned me onto cool stuff…By 10 I got Number of the Beast on cassette simply because all of the older, cool kids had the Live After Death patch on their jacket, the artwork blew me away and I had to know what it was! My dad played guitar so he was really cool with me asking for a trip to Record World or Sam Goody to buy a tape once a week. I got Number soley based on the artwork and the rest is history…I’m 47 and thanks to the 80’s my favorite bands are still everything from Venom to Van Halen. I never outgrew my metal phase lol, still play guitar and bass, sang in 3 different death metal bands and 1 hardcore punk project and have absolutely no plans to stop playing, going to shows, buying records and making friends and band mates within metal and all its sub genres. Thanks to MTV I was introduced to Slayer, Exodus, Overkill, Napalm Death, Entombed and also thanks to MTV I was introduced to RATT, Dokken, Dio, the Phys Ed teacher in the Hot For Teacher video lol…all things I still love and listen to regularly. I’m glad I’m old enough to have a few years of that decade in my heart and memories because it truly was a great time. Who remembers going to the mall and putting your quarter up in the arcade? Meeting kids from different schools, seeing t shirts and patches of bands you didn’t know about? Watching Headbangers Ball late at night and though there was less technology, the feeling that you could just go outside and DO stuff, put your Walkman on, get on your BMX bike and just explore the town, there was so many possibilities and it all seemed exciting with a stellar soundtrack- even the top 40 stuff and pop radio stuff was pretty decent in comparison to today where it takes 20 ppl to write a song that has 5 lyrics, seriously?! It’s crazy! Not to sound like a crusty old man but we could use a bit more 80’s today…these kids are missing out man. I babbled enough…love you Jeff and remember Satan Laughs As You Eternally Rot!!!

0:41 they really were the future. They set a path for all the heavier bands to come after them, inspiring generations of musicians. If there’s great extreme metal stuff we also have to thank Slayer

I used to see SLAYER and MEGADETH every time they came to Philly or New Jersey. I need to see who's coming next. It's been a few years but I'm due for one.

Kerry King talking about how aggressive and fast they were, and then less than a year later (10 months to be exact) after the release of Reign in Blood, Napalm Death releases Scum. Music changes and morphs so fast, both releases, as well as Peace Sells are classic, influential albums. Thanks for the upload.

I love a good time capsule. It all went downhill after this era for many of these OG thrash bands.

What a Gem!!!

Megadeth!...Slayer!...Metallica!...Antbrax!....it will NEVER BE THE SAME EVER AGAIN!

Great days! 84-88 really was immense for metal. Peace Sells. Reign in Blood. Master of Puppets. We were so lucky.

Also i forgot to thank ASMR Intent for putting it on. keep rocking .🤘

Almost makes you wonder what M in MTV stood for back then. Good times.

YESSS!!!

Slayer is different thing and still they are. Other Big 4 band kind of close each other by their sounds. Slayer's league was in Demolition Hammer, Dark Angel, Exodus and similar agrressive ones. They put them self in Big4 as core speed thrash band..this was really hard also great job

The best loyal fans in the world, no matter where i go in the world if you meet a headbanger your in for a good old time.

Oh man when I see this stuff on the tube makes me happy that Im 55 years old.

got my driver’s license just in time to get tickets and drive me and my friends into the city to see the Peace Sells tour at a cozy venue-they shred

Music with sharp edges! Ever since I was a little kid I liked hard music, Kiss, Black Sabbath and Motörhead were the bands my next door neighbors listened to in the 1970’s and they were REALLY cool sitting on their cars and motorcycles in the front yard! Unfortunately I’m STILL not that cool.

Great stuff

When the internet goes down, we’re done. Only memories. Unless you have a hard copy.

I remeber when slayer looked like that,rock city 1988 slayer gigs were an awakening .

con 16 y al lado el Bmx uff que epoca tan linda pues el Bmx ya nada pero el rock ? Siempre

Cool!
